Do facelift mirror caps fit on a non-facelift car?

I’m wanting to add the large blind spot lights to my mirrors and then connect them in to an aftermarket BSM kit.

If the mirror caps fit then it’s a straight swap. If they don’t then I would have to get the lights and cut them in to the housings.

Look @Lutz_91 Retrofit 5Q0 To 2Q0

The LED in the cab need 2Q0 Units

Thanks. I will be connecting to a cheap AliExpress kit. Will probably just install the standard lights for proof of concept but keen to make it look OEM and have the big lights in the mirror caps which are more cost effective than changing the mirror glass.

Why Not OEM Retrofit?

It’s still a lot for a nice to have feature.

Did you have to calibrate once it was installed?

No

Be careful, OEM LED in the Mirrow Cab have maximal 7V

@Binx1310 - I got mirror caps from AliExpress that had the blind spot indicator built-in. I then wired it up to work in parallel with the existing mirror blind spot indicator.

Perfect.

U can read about it here.

Thanks. I was looking at Ali mirror caps which were they a straight fit or did you have to modify to fit the mirrors at all ?

The mirror cap is a straight fit.

Wiring is not plug'n'play.

Wat is the benefit of the 2Q0 controller?

Multi-lane detection, longer range and RCTA

All good, but I'll pass, thanks.

The current 5Q0 is fine.

Single adjacent Lane detection is all that is needed. I don't need multiple lane.

Longer range I can live without.

RCTA it already has this.

Since when has the 5Q0 had the parking assist feature?

You Drive the 2Q0 System? I find 5Q0 Not good
